The device works by incorporating [GPS, WiFi-based positioning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secondgeneration-apple-airtag) (WPS) and Cell ID to let users obtain the precise location of whatever they're tracking. This could include virtually anything, including keys, a pet or even a child – all by simply placing it in a bag or on clothing. The Samsung Connect Tag is reported by the brand to be the first device that makes use of narrowband network technology, and also boasts a low power consumption. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gps-enabled Trackers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced tracking devices that utilize GPS, WiFi-based positioning, and Cell ID for precise tracking of various items. - **Narrowband Network Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of narrowband network technology for creating more efficient and low-power tracking devices. - **Location-based Tracking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative solutions for location-based tracking of personal belongings, pets, and individuals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create cutting-edge GPS-enabled trackers that cater to the growing demand for advanced tracking devices. - **Internet of Things (iot):** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of IoT technology with GPS-enabled trackers to enhance connectivity and functionality. - **Child Safety:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative GPS-enabled trackers that prioritize child safety and provide peace of mind for parents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Tracking Tag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smarttag-2.md) - [Sleek Compact Tracker Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebblebee-tag.md) - [Low-Cost Card-Style Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gps-tracker-card.md) - [Enhanced Connectivity Pet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life360-pet-gps.md) - [Display-Equipped Item Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phototag.md) - [Compact Sleek Bluetooth Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-tag-1.md) - [Stylish Multifunctional Item Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-tag.md) - [Location-Tracking Safety Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-protect-gps-tracker.md) - [GPS Pet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petcube-gps-tracker.md)
